C: Printing unsigned/signed short using printf
Posted by Joys of Programming on in C/C++
Two types of integer are supported in C: signed and unsigned integers. If you want to use integer which occupies only 2 bytes, you can use short instead of int. To declare a signed short integer
signed short int varname;
To declare a unsigned short integer
unsigned short int varname;
If you do not specify a specifier with short, it is taken as signed short integer. Even int is optional.
unsigned short varname; signed short varname;
are correct forms.
To print signed short integer, you can either use i or d both perpended by h. For unsigned integer, use u prepended by h . This is shown in the following program
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
/*Unsigned Short*/
unsigned short int uvar = 25;
/*Signed Short*/
signed short int svar = -25;
/*Printing unsigned Short Integer*/
printf ("%hu\n", uvar);
/*Printing signed short Integer*/
printf ("%hi\n", svar);
printf ("%hd\n", svar);
return 0;
}
